[comp.sys.apple2] P8 Subdirectory Access Question

ccrovac@yogi.ucdavis.edu (09/07/90)

I recently sent in my Ram cards in for a trade-in for a better Ram card.
So, for now, I am stuck running ProDos 8.  I am having trouble accessing
anything beyond the 2nd level depth of a subdirectory.  

I have a CMS 60 with /cms and /cms2.  Using P8 v1.4 "B" (which is what's
sitting on one my various floppies) I found I can't get ahold of
anything on the hard drive beyond the 2nd level.  I can access things in
/cms, and /cms/subdir1.  But, I cannot get a hold of anything in
/cms/subdir1/subdir2

I've tried from C2+, Proterm, , Appleworks (starting from Add FIle
"Different Disk" option, and going down"), and simple PREFIX commands
from basic.system.

I never realiezd this before, because I've always used GSOS.  I was
hoping someone could tell me how I can get to the deeper directories.  
It's not the hd, because I can get to the dirs from GSOS.  It's not my
cpu, since I tried using P8 from another person's gs (with my cms scsi
card and hd) and still can't get to it.

My config right now:
 GS Rom01, 256K (sigh - can't wait for my new ram board), 1 3.5 on the
port, 2 5.25's in slot 6 (drive cont card), and the cms in slot 7.

Thanks for any help

Interesting....

Have you tried using a more recent version of ProDOS 8?  The GS/OS
System Disk should have version 1.8 or so.  Copy the P8 file from
/System.Disk/System/P8 to a disk, rename it to PRODOS, then copy it to
the disk you wish to boot from.  That possibly might help.  Also, of
course, read the manual that came with the hard drive.  They might have
suggestions.
